5 random things

1. My husband & I celebrated our anniversary last week. It was a rare day, one for the record books: no kids, a movie, shopping, fine dining & wonderful local food. I’m still trying to figure what sort of herbs they put in this simple but divine tomato & cucumber salad served with local goat cheese. I really could have licked the bowl. It was so good.

Here’s a pic of the fun restaurant – in an old warehouse with high ceilings. It was a nice change from our normal Chicky Wicky outings.

2. Don’t hate – but I got a pair of TOM wedges at a local shop for 60% off! Love them! (if you have a local shop that carries TOMS, check them out – they might be marked down as well.)

P.S. Have you seen the new Cord style for Fall? They’re next on my list.

3. New fabric arrived today for more scarves!

Can’t wait to make some fun color combos with these!

4. She loves the camera & she can’t control herself.

5. I saw this idea on Tatertots & Jello’s round up for Back to school ideas & I loved it. It’s from Jac o’lyn Murphy’s blog. Both of G’s teachers love coffee, so it’s a win win for me. I’m a little late giving this to them, but I think a shot of “pick-me-up” is welcome anytime.

I love your new wedges!! I have them in red, but didn’t get them at such a steal, lucky girl! We have a TOMS store here, I go and drool over all the fabulous styles. It’s a little tiny hole in the wall shop, very cool. I love the cords, want!!!!

Second of all, my hubby and I had an awesome date this weekend, too! we do not have kids yet, but both have crazy busy work schedules. He owns a painting company and I’m a teacher, so we rarely see each other right now!!!! Totally can relate!!

Thirdly, coming from a teacher, the coffee is an awesome thoughtful gift even if it’s a week or so (or anytime) “late”. I am so pooped the first month of school so a pick-me-up and reminder that I’m doing great, is much appreciated! I’m sure your kiddos’ teachers felt GRATEFUL!!!! Way to go!!!
